Ask Sinitta: ‘You should even give the bug uglies quality time’
Your problems solved by a bona fide pop icon.

Dan from Edinburgh asks Sinitta:
“The other night I arranged a hook-up with a guy from Grindr and when I got there he wasn’t nearly as hot as he looked in his picture. I ended up staying at his place for an hour making small talk and watching ‘2 Broke Girls’ before making my excuses and leaving awkwardly. If this happens again, should I just be honest straight away and say, ‘This probably isn’t going to work out’?”
Sinitta says: “Haha! Well most of us are not as hot as our hottest pictures of ourselves! Be flattered that at least he sent you his best look ever, to show his potential or how he looks after you’ve had a few drinks – or how he looks to himself in the mirror! You didn’t seem to enjoy spending time with him watching the show though – like that hour with him was excruciatingly awful – so that makes me think you should have bailed sooner. However, had you had a great time with him despite him being ‘bugly’ (bug ugly) I would have said no! You should even give the buglies some quality time as you may end up meeting a good friend to hang out with. Also, what if he was thinking the same thing about YOU?! Oops!”
Tommy from Salford asks Sinitta: “My boyfriend and I have been going out for three years and I’m starting to worry we’re stuck in a rut. Most evenings we sit in with an M&S ready meal watching Phil and Kirstie re-runs on More 4. What tips can you give us to spice things up a bit?”
Sinitta says: “Three years! Congratulations! You’re like a married couple; familiar, cosy, relaxed and at home with each other, but yes you are right, you need to do something to keep a pulse going. I suggest date nights! Take turns each week planning something fun, romantic or sexy to do. Make it a night when you can both lie in afterwards. You can use candles, tequila, sexy pants and food and it can be indoors or outdoors – but remember some date activities should ONLY happen behind closed doors! Not everyone wants to see you two doing your honeymoon moves!”
Anil from Lewisham asks Sinitta: “There’s a guy in my gym who uses the communal hairdryer in the changing room to blow-dry his bits. It makes me kind of uncomfortable. How can I point to this out in a delicate manner?” Sinitta says:
“Hahaha! Sorry, I just imagined his pubic hair flying around the room – eek! Ok, well this chap is obviously REALLY comfortable in his own skin and feels right at home at the gym. You could find a very large towel and hold it up like a curtain in front of him, but is the issue that you think it’s unhygienic to use the hair dryer on your pubes or that he does it openly? For fun (and if you have the nerve), why don’t you stand opposite him and mimic his actions when you dry yourself – but really work it, like, “that hair dryer feels gooood” and see if he gets the hint! Go on, I dare you – bitch!”
